Trend Continue ?
I don't know if you have noticed but the last two promotions have took place in our 3rd season in the league, can this continue ?

Re: Trend Continue ?
No, not unless we uncover some superstar youth players. Same every year now for a long time i think. I dont think we should think any otherwise with the resources made available form off field finances. 1,200 in league 1 now that would be a pish take.

I reckon it's possible, Coley has a knack of uncovering gems ... bit off the mark this season but look at his track record - you can't beat it...
All season we've had periods of games were you just think "If we could do that for 90 minutes we'd be unstoppable". Third time lucky. |

At the FES...I would agree that there is a general sense of guarded optimism. But there have been too many false dawns over the last 2 Seasons, There have been more tears than smiles. Which tends to make me think that the step up from Division 2 to Division 1, being a more giant step in every way than the one's previously taken by The Reds in their promotion years, just might prove to be for the time being, little more than optimistic hope! . As many other threads quite rightly suggest, there are so many pitfalls and blind alleyways to negotiate before the Club can even pretend to be seen as 'Professional'. A missing quality which is so evident when one visits Clubs in higher echelons of The Football League. When this happens, and I believe it will at the FES, then with a bright new Stadium, filled to the brim with bright new (and not so new!) Fans, a team with winning ways, playing Winning football, we can all look for a rapid climb to the Premiership! ( I'm getting carried away as usual!). This is what we all hope for !. and why we support The Reds...and I hope Sam that I'll be around to see it all happen!!. Notts County here we come!!! 'ON STANLEY......ON!!!' |
Re: Trend Continue ?
in the future yes,now i dont think so,i think we are not at any level to move up that extra step yet.I think what we have achieved so far has been amazing i never imagined ten years ago that accrington stanley would grace the football league again and boy how happy i am to see them back again!

Re: Trend Continue ?
not in the near future... and to avoid sounding negative, the reason I say this is we need to establish ourselves as a league club... we have grown playing wise enormously over the past 8 years and we now need a time for stability and for the off field to catch up... for the staff to build on league knowledge, for the gates to grow and for the ground to be finished...
then... who knows :) |
Re: Trend Continue ?
I said at the start of this season that there aint much difference between where we are now and challenging at the play off end. This season we haven't turned losses into draws which other teams have done and that keeps the distances between sides shorter. 6 wins and a draw here and there and we would be in the mix. Having watched most of the dross this season you could imagine it wouldn't take a lot to change things (same for every team though unfortunately).
Personally I didn't think we were ready for League football, and to some degree I was right, but here we are about to secure a third successive season! Many clubs mess about trying to ensure that everything is in place for that next step up but if it doesn't come then you are left with more of a club/ground/backroom team better than you need. Under Eric and Coley we have built the team with what we can and pottered about with the rest - just maybe we could one day have a League 1 team with under 2000 fans coming!!!!! If you drop back down then so what? just like if we had got relegated this year or last - so what? at least we'd have been there which is more than teams like Stevenage can say |

However, the Management of this 'change', would take 'a lot' to operate , and it would take a great deal of imagination and zeal on the part of the Club's Administrators to develop this particular 'organisation' to the level of efficiency which we see in those League Clubs who appear to achieve success in everything they attempt to do !. So, with the hopes contained in some of the postings in this thread in mind regarding promotion to higher things, perhaps it is time not to appoint 'Entertainers'...but rather a Strategic Planner (s) who will establish a true Raison d'etre for the Club....who will examine and determine it's place in it's environment...and set logical and manageable targets for it's achievement of the goals (no pun intended) which will guide it to success!. It is in my opinion that this is the only way forward to ensuring the solidarity between The Club, it's Management,it's Players and it's Supporter's Club, with it's Fans and all in the Local Community . 'A Ship without a Chart will never reach it's destination, and an organisation without a strategy WILL fail !'. Does all the implied criticism which we read on the forum regarding organisational failures noticed at the FES suggest that the Charts and the Strategies are non-existent ?. 'IT wouldn't take much' Macca...but what it does 'take' has got to be right ! (I'm sounding off again!..but in our love for the Club, Alfred.E. and I do worry about where The Stanley are going, and how they're going to get there!) 'ON STANLEY....ON!!!' |
